How It All Started

For several years after we retired, Wanda and I worked for a nationally known theme park in southern Missouri, Silver Dollar City.  After 7 years of having as much fun as we could stand, we decided it was time to start a new chapter in our lives.  Saying goodbye to all our friends and co-workers in Branson was a little tough as we had grown quite close to them, but, it had to be done.

Every year,  January through March, we would hit the road for warmer climates. (Silver Dollar City was closed at that time).  South Florida a couple times, California and our favorite, Mustang Island, S. Texas.  And of course a particular place to stay, "On The Beach Campground."  Not the fanciest campground but right on the beach.  We really like that area.  Which brings us to why we were in that particular area in January of 2014 when we had originally planned to be in California.

We had talked about going to work for a gate guard company for quite a while, so in January of this year we did just that.  As of April 5th, we have been living and working as gate guards at Catarina, Texas.  It's a different life as many of you other gate guards can attest to.             More about that in another post.
